Question

If you are using the Metabolic Equivalent Level to assess physical activity, a measurement of over 6 METS means:
Select one:
a. that the person is doing a Light Intensity Activity
b. No correct answer
c. that the person is doing a Vigorous Intensity Activity
d. that the person is doing a Moderate Intensity Activity

Answer 1

Answer:

Moderate-intensity activities are defined as 3.0 to 5.9 METs. Walking at 3.0 miles per hour requires 3.3 METs of energy expenditure and is therefore considered a moderate-intensity activity. Vigorous-intensity activities are defined as 6.0 METs or more.

Answer 2

If you are using the ‘Metabolic Equivalent Level’ to assess ‘physical activity’, a measurement of over ‘6 METS’ means “that the person is doing a Vigorous Intensity Activity”.

Option: (c)

Explanation:

• This is a vigorous activity and requires a lot of ‘effort and energy’. It leads to rapid growth of breathing and an increase in the heart rate.  

• It could include running, aerobics, fast swimming, and fast cycling, such activities at a faster rate.  

• The Metabolic Equivalent Level assesses the physical activity and it is the ‘ratio’ of a person's working ‘metabolic rate’ in comparison to their metabolic rate during the resting period.
